Liquify Tool command not working because of disk error.

Hi Guys, 

 

Can anyone help me out here with this. I'm trying to make a background and need to use the Liquify tool. When i click it, it gives me that message. Where is the disk error? I'm running on a Late 2012 21.5 i-Mac running Catalina. I have 16GB of ram. Ican't use the graphics card, I'm assuming it's to old?

 

I was running version 23.5.1 and downgraced to version 23.5 as i seen it worked for a few. But still does  not work. is there a work around? 

 

Thanks,

Tommy

I dont have that option that i can find, for legacy composition. 


Hi Thomas, I'm assuming this is PS CC2021.

Your graphics card does make a difference (not in a good way).

The GeForce GT 620M clocks in at under 600 ops/sec.

That combined with the VRAM not meeting requirements will definitely put you in a hole with performance.

You can try installing an older version of PS that is more compatible with your card, but I'm not sure how far back you will have to go. Otherwise a hardware upgrade is needed to run current (2020+) builds effectively.

https://prodesigntools.com/ has direct download links to previous CC versions. This is legit as long as you have an active subscription.

Delete the "Pattern Layer" with all the points.

Delete the layer mask on the bird layer.

Select the bird image and then create a mask on that layer.

Move the tie die layer above the bird layer.

Hold Opt and click between the masked bird layer and the tie dye layer. It will create a Clipping Mask between the two.

 


I appreciate this very much!
